At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
Refreshing Basil Cranberry Margarita
I first tried this amazing margarita combination at a restaurant in Texas with my cousin. Our waiter served up the most delicious cranberry basil margarita, and I tried to do it and justice and replicate this refreshing drink. I used a few simple ingredients from World Market, tequila, frozen cranberries, and fresh basil from my garden. Within minutes I had a delicious tasting drink that accompanied my Mexican themed dinner oh-so well!
